Valencia is a neighorhood set in the north western corner of the Santa Clarita Valley. It is best known for being home to Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, a park which is the world record holder for having the most roller coasters in an amusement park.

The community’s residential areas are separated into separate “lifestyle” villages. Most are close to schools and all areas are connected by “paseos”, a system of paved pathways which go under or over streets and boulevards. This makes it possible for one to travel through the neighborhood without ever having to cross the road at grade level.

Top Five White Collar Work Injuries

Many of the 32,600 residents work in what are considered to be “office” or “white collar” occupations. These jobs are often mistakenly associated with a reduced risk of injury or illness.

Some of the most common work injuries a white collar worker may experience include:

1. Back Pain

This is often due to sitting in a chair for prolonged periods of time. Lower back pain, upper back pain and spinal cord pain are common.

2. Typing-Related Injuries

These injuries are often repetitive stress related. This can result in pain or injury to the tendons and ligaments in your hands and wrists.

3. Blurred Vision

Focusing on a computer screen for a lengthy period of time puts a lot of strain on our eyes. This can lead to blurred vision, eye pain, and headaches.

4. Neck Stiffness

This is also often due to focusing on a computer screen and sitting for lengthy periods of time. Having a workstation that is not ergonomic can also lead to neck pain.

5. Migraines

Migraines may be due to a variety of problems, including back pain, neck pain, staring at a computer for prolonged periods of time, and interior office lighting.

What to Do If You Think Your Injury Is Work-Related

The first step is to advise your employer about your injury (preferably in writing). Your employer may ask that you fill out workers compensation form or a first aid report then.

It is also a good idea to seek medical treatment even if your injury is minor. This will help validate your workplace injury.
